The sport package option (http://www.autobytel.com/content/research/vir/index.cfm?id=11989;4&Vehicle_ Number_int=9815&action=features&breadcrumbs=HP%2CResearch%2CMakesearch&make_ vch=MINI&model_vch=Cooper) looks pretty good. Given the nerdcar we're driving now, it will be quite the change. Now I just have to convince Wendy, that may cost me a PT Cruiser though.
